Cover Story
Playing a musical instrument used to be an American rite of passage. Today, School of Rock, located right across from Cornerstone Church at 109 Gallery Circle, provides a new, vibrant and fun way to learn. Students can study guitar, bass, drums, keyboards or singing as they bring their inner musician to life. In today’s world, many kids are looking for community and
real connection with other kids who share their interests.
Student Spotlight
A fall saved her life. What seemed initially to be a smallish setback at Ronald Reagan High School senior Aryiel Sherman’s high jump practice revealed a potentially fatal bleed in her brain. In the blink of an eye, the elite athlete went from training for state-level competition to neurosurgery and months of recovery. Aryiel was familiar with concussion protocol from her experience being a flyer in cheer, but the nausea after an off high jump landing in September 2024 was different.
Travel Time
Spring break isn’t just for beaches and pool time anymore—it’s the perfect excuse to pack your bags (and your appetites) for a family foodie adventure. Because while sandcastles are wonderful, sometimes it’s the churros, tacos, and pasta-making classes that kids remember most. Think of it this way: family-friendly foodie travel turns spring break into a delicious classroom without the homework.
Pet Tip
Zoey, Ivan, Shadow, Sketches, Halo. Each name represents a beloved furry family member who’s crossed the rainbow bridge. It’s obvious to the Camp Bow Wow family – staff and clients alike – how much every beloved pup will be missed. Staff members decided to take a cue from the Mexican Dia de Los Muertos custom of honoring the memory of departed family members and set up memorials at their locations in San Antonio and Austin.
Dental Digest

Chicken Chores
What would it look like if a pair of baby ducks had a pool party?
That’s the idea that hatched in 2023 for Dana Haby, 11-year librarian at Timberwood Park Elementary School. She had spent the past month sharing the development of incubating ducklings over the school’s live-streamed announcements. Now her sons begged to bring the adorable balls of fluff home for the weekend.
Victorious Valentine
What are you doing for Valentine’s Day? You can’t miss it; stores have been festooned with pink and red hearts since the Christmas decorations came down.

Wish List
Sometimes San Antonio’s city programs seem far away and of little impact or interest in Stone Oak. District 9’s Councilman John Courage wanted to find a way to engage the community and bring dollars to benefit his district directly. In 2018 he launched the first participatory budget, soliciting feedback from District 9 constituents about projects that would make a difference to its residents.
